But if you don't write 5.3 code you won't see any errors :P And I don't plan 
to add intrusive assistants or code completion that enforce 5.3 features on 
you. Only the parser should work with 5.3 code. And if you use 5.3 code you 
should get all the bells and whistles.

I'll leave it as is for now until someone comes up with a proper usecase that 
shows problems with it :P
